Question

Replicate weights for use with CPS-TUS

Does IPUMS make replicate weights available that can be used with the CPS-TUS data for any or all of the TUS waves between 2001 and 2015? If not, do you have any suggestions for external sources of replicate weights that could be used with the IPUMS TUS data?

Staff Answer

At the present time replicate weights are only available for ASEC samples from 2005 onward. This excludes TUS samples. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any additional external sources for CPS replicate weights. If you'd like to try creating these on your own, at the bottom of the Replicate Weights page there is a link to a US Census Bureau document that provides additional details about the construction of replicate weights.
